Drop Frame - Sets

It's been too long folks!
Very excited to bring to you the first mix of 2021 - performed at the 'Melburn City Circus' event @ The Industrique (Coburg, Victoria)

This is a super high energy, fast cutting set that spans 32 tracks of my favourite Half time, Drum and bass tracks of the moment. Planned and produced over the course of a few months, including several dj edits to blend it all together.

Hope you get as much enjoyment as I did performing it on the night! Big shout out to the Melburners crew!

If you love it, share it!

🔥 ESOTERIC FESTIVAL 🔥
Full video set now up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y64Vh34NAE8

This is my set from the mighty Snakepit stage at 5.30pm on Saturday - Esoteric Festival 2022. What an absolute honour it was to play this incredible stage at this incredible festival. I poured my heart into this set, spanning 50 tracks, multiple tempo changes, multiple genres. 

This is an epic, heavy, emotional, driving set full of massive bass moments, introspection, inspiration and nods to my favourite current producers.

Atleast 6 months of playlisting and around 30 hours of set design, across a full 1h 30m of mayhem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed putting it together and performing it to the amazing crowd on the day.

So much love to the organisers of Esoteric and Snakepit for having me down and letting me experience one of my favourite festivals from both the dancefloor and the stage. We all got to share something magical, something that we wont forget anytime soon. 

Lots of <3 to everyone who was there on the day.

A full video recorded version of this set will be out shortly!
As will a full setlist (most likely with the video release)

✨👽 HYPERSPACE 👽✨

Super excited to share my set from the amazing Melburn Galactica party (on the Hyperspace stage!) An incredible party and electric dancefloor which was an absolute pleasure to play for.

This set is super high energy, blasting off at a million miles an hour until reaching a electric cruising altitude before lowering the BPM to explore some "out of this world" bass excursions. In classic over-complicated Drop Frame set design - this set spans 44 tracks, 3 channel mixing, custom dj edits/mashups and tempo changes. 

Im stoked with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together and performing it on the day <3

Prepare to enter - HYPERSPACE!

🎉 FUNK FACTORY 🎉

Super excited to share my set from The Funk Factory - an epic day party I recently played at Bourke St Courtyard! I had the rare chance to play an afternoon slot under the beautiful natural sunlight throughout the venue. A big thankyou to Boydex for organising such a vibey day!

This set fires out of the gates fast, with a big initial emphasis on getting those limbs moving and grooving - then it unfurls into a funky psychedelic technicolour bass journey with interlocking melodies and vocals, moving up and down tempos, diving into different emotional landscapes over time.

This is sort of my soundtrack to spring, budding new life, exploration, winter clouds parting, new friendships forming and colour bursting from the winter gloom. A homage to the warmer months ahead with a nod to the colder months in the past.

I'm proud of this one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed playing it on the day.

🔥 BLAZING SWAN 🔥

Very proud to share the first recorded set of 2024 (Esoteric & Album launch sets coming soon!)

I was very grateful to return to Blazing swan after a 5 year hiatus to the same amazing themecamp Abode who very kindly welcomed me back to play the bass night on Sunday on the incredible Traction rig! 

The original Blaze set from 2019 was the first one I uploaded where I felt comfortable of the trajectory of the Drop Frame project as a whole, it was awesome to come back to bring the evolution of the DF sound to this incredible festival. Starting with the first track.. Runestone.

A huge thankyou to the Abode crew for having me down - the friendships I've made over the years in this crew are cherished, cant wait to be back at blaze and to share those dancefloors with you all again real soon.

I was so stoked to be welcomed back to one of my favourite festivals in Australia - Esoteric. An incredibly hot festival - most days getting very close to the 40C degree mark, it was tough going but the community came together and brought an incredible festival experience for us all to share.

This set is one of the most complex ones I've attempted spanning a cool 69 tracks (nice) - it starts with an emphasis towards melody and feeling, increasingly moving up in intensity and along a journey across the hour and a half. I'm really proud of this one and I hope you enjoy what was an incredibly fun set to play on the day. 

A huge thankyou to the Esoteric festival organisers and the incredible Snakepit crew who had me down once again to grace their stage. What an awesome crew doing incredible things for Bass music in Australia.

Drop Frame - Esoteric Festival 2024 (Snakepit)

It was an honour to play this incredible party at Melbourne Pavillion for Melburners! Regional burn parties are some of my favourite because they bring a huge variety of experiences, art and sound to a beautiful audience of likeminded souls. This night was no exception, bringing an amazing group of beautiful people together to celebrate creativity, culture and collaboration.

This set is the final I will be releasing of several sets in the last few months and one which is shorter, more condensed and orientated towards a broader crowd. It's lighter than recent sets, with more of a nod towards positivity, fun, friendliness, emotion, hope and celebrating the power of a good dance together. It's a journey I was proud to bring to the main room of Melbourne Pavillion and share with the beautiful dancers in the crowd.

After this I'll be taking a much needed break to do some travelling and release the remixes for The Midnight Sun over the next few months - then ill be starting sets back up at later half of the year and working on new originals. A huge thankyou for being a part of my recent journey over the last few months, it's been a soul enriching time and im so grateful for your time in taking that journey with me too.

With lots of love and care - Drop Frame (Tom)

I had the absolute pleasure to play on a brand new and incredible sound camp at this years Underland called ‘The Abyss’. A stage which connected some incredibly techincal and talented lighting and audio geniuses together to bring an amazing space to the paddock this year.

This is my set from 12PM Saturday night - a perfect example of when everything goes right, the sound was on point, the atmosphere was electric and the crowd of beautiful burners kept the energy turned up to the highest. Giant gusts of wind blew into the tent to bring an epic feel to each build and the drops were followed by hoots and howls with everyone stomping their feet in unison. It was an absolute pleasure!

This set spans 62 tracks - months of playlisting and a few last minute editions. It also features a little bit of MIDI based scratching (which is an experiment I’ve been working on). I had a lot of fun revisiting some tracks I loved in the past and giving them a new perspective in this mix.

Its VERY high energy, with no limits - it's 100% full on, peak power, driving and heavy DF at maximum volume. Unbuckle your seatbelts and get ready to groove!

Enjoy!

I had the honour of playing at the Snakepit stage @ Aura Festival 2024 - to an incredibly fun and receptive crowd. This will be my final set upload for this year and likely for a few months into 2025 as ill be taking some time away to develop new tracks and work on my music as a whole.

Super high energy with lots of contrast between vocal tracks and bangers - it's the bright ying to the darker abyss set's yang. It was a huge honour to play on the snakepit stage (the vibes were huge all weekend, good work crew!) and I hope you enjoy this final journey for 2024.

Blazing swan is something special, I was fortunate enough to return for my third round at this incredible festival with my home away from home - the Abode crew. This year Abode went above and beyond in creating an incredible friendly space, dedicated to the bass. An insane rig (Traction sound system) covered one wall of the camp, filling the space with crystal clear sub frequencies and tuned to absolute perfection. A huge thankyou to Abode for welcoming me back and allowing me to play on this incredible system.

This set is the result of a lot of thought, care and attention. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make my 3rd visit something very special. This set leans into a powerful place, an exploration of newschool/complex melodic dnb orientated towards trance and psychedelic states. It drives forward at a blistering pace with many beautiful vistas along the way. 

This will be one of only a few recorded sets this year - so I hope it reaches you in a wonderful place.

- DF (Tomtom)

Drop Frame - Blazing Swan 2025 (Abode)

I thought this mix was lost.

A special, dark, experimental, genre-blending, emotional journey into electronic sound - its a 100% oldschool drop frame set.

This is an album launch set performed at Rubix in 2015 for my album Amartyr. I played live synths and pianos in combination with a complex ableton project setup which blended the album together with all sorts of little bits and pieces. B-sides, experiments and oddities were all thrown in.

A pretty challenging mix to build.

Enjoy! (Track listing coming soon!)

Drop Frame - Rubix 2015 (Amartyr Album Launch)

Recently I had the honour of playing at an amazing festival in my home town Perth called Blazing Swan. The first half of the set is a multi-genre bass approach and the second half I took the opportunity to play some of the Hypercolour tracks in full, all highlighted by the epic sound system in the Abode camp. Thanks a bunch to the Abode crew for having me down!

Track listing coming soon!

Drop Frame - Blazing Swan 2019 Set (Abode)

I've been looking forward to playing this set for long time! 

Welcome to the epic dnb and bass set at the Plasma Canopy!

The "Plasma Canopy" was an incredible art installation at this years Burning seed - 150 mapped LED tubes formed a kelidoscopic canopy above a huge dirt dancefloor. This set was built specifically for this dancefloor in mind - a love letter to my favourite drum and bass tracks of the year - channeling some space and futuristic vibes with a whole lot of booty shaking!

An incredible artwork from the minds at Telekinetik Chair repair!
